Paloma Faith is back with a new series of her podcast, but the hit series’ emotive title comes amid a bullying row for the star.
The singer has called her podcast Mad, Sad & Bad because as she points out ‘I’ve been called all those things, but instead of letting it define me, I decided to own it’.
She explains: ‘I’ll be talking to my favourite actors, comedians, musicians, and thinkers on how they’ve handled those pivotal moments of emotion. “Mad, Sad & Bad” is about the highs, the lows, and the glorious mess in-between.’
With new episodes dropping every Tuesday, Paloma invites an array of guests into her home to dissect their emotions, with her latest booking being Hollywood star Samuel L. Jackson.
But Paloma’s latest Mad, Sad & Bad podcast drop comes amid EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy’s claims that the singer bullied her when they were at school together.
Natalie thought back to her school days on her own podcast Life With Nat when her bad experience with Paloma came up.

EastEnders star Natalie, 42, and singer Paloma, 43, both attended Islington Green School, with Paloma in the year above Natalie.
Natalie claimed: ‘Paloma Faith, she bullied me at school. She went to Islington Green and was in the year above me. We’ve spoken about it and she has said sorry about that. Gutted.’
But in a twist to the tale, Paloma’s comments about her own torment at school have emerged.
Writing in a 2012 tweet, Paloma insisted her school days were far from easy, claiming: ‘Yes I got bullied at school. I had braces and before that, wonky teeth.’
Paloma, who has a degree in contemporary dance and once worked as a magician’s assistant, has previously called Islington Green ‘very, very rough,’ adding that ‘the police were there every day; there was a lot of violence.’
But in spite of classmate Natalie’s comments and her bullying, Paloma has called herself ‘a pacifist,’ explaining how her school’s ‘tough environment helped me develop a strong sense of self. I had to learn to stick to my guns and be stubborn.’
She has also spoken positvely about her ‘incredible’ teachers, gushing in an interview with The Standard: ‘They were very encouraging to me. I was put in the Hackney Gazette because it was a failing school and I got all As at GCSE.’
She has pointed out though that whilst she was inspired by the creative nature of her school, she didn’t receive any formal music training, declaring: ‘I did it all myself. I had no famous parents, no stage school, no BRIT School.’

‘I didn’t have lessons, ever, I just copied records.’
After completing her A Levels at City and Islington College, Paloma went on to study for a degree in contemporary dance in Leeds before receiveing an MA in theatre directing at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
She juggled a huge array of part time jobs during her studies including as a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret and a magician’s assistant.
